Clive Barker delivers great character design and a very interesting story/world building. However, mostly everything else about this game was dogshit. The main cast had very cringy and poorly written dialogue (aside from a few laughs I had). A lot of enemies were well designed, but some were just masses of walking ground beef, just couldnt believe a master of horror designed those absolute bores. Cant hit them all but most of the other designs were very good. The games difficulty is so weird. Most enemies 1-3 shot you and they just constantly spawn directly in front of you. So dying to enemies that spawn from the ground 2 feet in front of me only to explode, killing me and a few squad mates instantly, got quite old very fast. The squad maneuver mechanic felt useless 99% of the time because they just did whatever the hell they wanted anyways! Also, even though I was part of a squad of 7, it felt like I was the only one doing damage!!! Like, I dont want them to play the game for me, but they could at least kill the enemies directly in front of them while I picked off others. I will say the majority of boss fights were fun and like a lil puzzle to try and figure out how to kill them. I did enjoy that. But yeah the other 90% of the game is just a live, die, repeat of walking down meat hallways as dozens of enemies rush towards me. I enjoy this game for how bad it is.
